Chapter 304: One Is Willing to Fight, the Other Is Willing to Be Beaten

Back in the palace, before the two of them had time to return to the East Palace, a chamberlain came and said: "The emperor asked Princess Feng and the regent to go to the Dazheng Palace."

Nan Xi said calmly: "I know."

Rong Yu didn't say anything.

The two went to the Dazheng Palace together. Several princes were still in the main hall. Seeing the couple walking in together, King Wei frowned: "I heard that the regent used military law against the prince of Huainan in the military camp outside the city."

From the very beginning, he sounded like he was asking for help.

Several other princes remained silent, their eyes falling on the regent's face, wondering how he would respond to this matter.

Rong Yu's expression was indifferent, and his noble and delicate eyebrows were always filled with a cold and distant look that could repel people thousands of miles away. He turned a deaf ear to King Wei's question, his attitude was extremely cold, and he obviously didn't want to pay attention to it.

"That is indeed what happened." Nan Xi said calmly, "But the little prince is not seriously ill. He has been examined by a military doctor and given medicine. He will be fine for two days."

"Is it enough to raise her for two days?" King Wei looked at her in disbelief, as if he was shocked by her understatement, "Princess Feng thinks it is right for the Regent to attack the Prince of Huainan?"

Nan Xi said casually: "Uncle, don't be so shocked. You don't know the whole story, so don't rush to question it."

King Wei's expression changed.

"Uncle King Huainan." Nan Xi turned to look at a middle-aged man in military uniform with an elegant face in the palace, and bowed slightly, "Do you want me to explain the cause and effect of this incident?"

"Princess Feng, please don't do this." King Huainan turned slightly to avoid her courtesy, "Yaoer is reckless and deserves to be taught a lesson. Even if the regent doesn't teach him a lesson, I will definitely not let him off lightly."

After finishing speaking, he did not forget to add: "Thank you Princess Feng for being so tolerant and pardoning half of his punishment."

When Nan Xi heard this, the corner of her lips raised a faint arc, and she couldn't help but feel a little fond of the Huainan Prince.

Perhaps this is the true demeanor of a military commander. He does not lose the cultivated demeanor of a royal prince and nobleman, but at the same time possesses the uprightness and justice of a military commander. No wonder he can teach Xuanyuan Yao, a fairly outstanding son - a pampered young master from a powerful family in the imperial capital. In comparison, Xuanyuan Yao is indeed outstanding.

But this outstanding performance should not be entirely due to King Huainan. Rong Yu also contributed, and Rong Yu's influence on Xuanyuan Yao was definitely not small. Otherwise, how could the arrogant prince follow him wholeheartedly?

Nan Xi thought to herself that maybe she should get to know Xuanyuan Yao better.

"What exactly is going on?" His Majesty the Emperor said in a deep voice.

"Someone should have reported what happened. Xuanyuan Yao led the Huainan army to make trouble. The Zhou army was angered and fought back angrily, which caused a bad impact in the military camp." Nan Xi said in a calm tone, with a tone of voice. With a bit of calmness, he said, "Although the responsibility for this matter does not lie with the Zhou Army, General Ling, one of the generals under Rong Yu's command, was still punished for this. As for Xuanyuan Yao, he was willing to accept the punishment. The premise is that Rong Yu can defeat him, so this is not considered coercion, nor is Rong Yu abusing his power, but it is completely a fight and a fight. "

King Wei said coldly: "So the regent of the Great Zhou Dynasty was right to use military law against the prince of the royal family on the territory of Dongling?"

"Those who commit crimes in the military should be dealt with according to military rules. What does the eldest uncle think is wrong?" Nan Xi raised an eyebrow.

"Xuanyuan Yao is the heir apparent of the royal family."

"So what?" Nan Xi said in a calm tone, "I have always thought that the higher you stand, the greater the responsibility you should bear. This incident was originally caused by him. Don't you punish him instead of punishing him for obeying orders? soldiers?

King Wei was speechless for a moment and said in a cold tone: "In front of all the officers and soldiers of the Huainan Army, if you attack their prince, are you not afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the soldiers?"

"The officers and soldiers of the Huainan Army are not dissatisfied. On the contrary, they are a group of men with blood and backbone. They all believe that Rong Yu's matter was handled very fairly." Nan Xi smiled lightly, and her unhurried tone sounded calm and composed. , "I have just said that this matter is one that is willing to fight and one that is willing to suffer. It is based on the premise of fairness and voluntariness, so it will not cause anyone's dissatisfaction."

King Wei was speechless for a moment and his expression was extremely embarrassing.

"If Uncle Huainan King has nothing to ask, then I and Rong Yu will go back to the East Palace first." Nan Xi turned around, "There are some cute little girls coming to the East Palace. I will go back and chat with them for a while."

When Nan Xi was talking to King Wei, King Huainan's eyes kept falling on the dignified and indifferent Rong Yu. Looking at this young man who was only two or three years older than Xuanyuan Yao, he thought of the young man who stayed in Dazhou Periphery Pass when Yao'er was a teenager. In those few years, I somewhat understood my son's choice.

This man is not very old, but his natural noble demeanor makes people feel awe, like Yue Zhiyuan Ting, like a sword sheathed, sharp but restrained.

It seems that even if the sky falls, he won't even frown. He is a man with an exceptionally strong and determined will.

Xuanyuan Sheng suppressed his thoughts and said calmly: "Today Yao'er was unreasonably provocative. If he has offended the regent, I will apologize to the regent on his behalf. It is because I have failed to teach my son well. I hope the regent will do it." There are a lot of people, don’t try to get along with him.”

Rong Yu glanced at him and said in an indifferent voice: "It doesn't matter."

King Wei, King Jing and King Huai all had strange expressions. The three of them looked at King Huainan in disbelief. Their son was beaten, and his father actually apologized to the person who beat his son?

They couldn't help wondering whether the King of Huainan really loved his son. He wouldn't have another son.

"If there's nothing else, Rong Yu and I will go back first." Nan Xi looked at the Emperor who was leaning on the brocade couch drinking tea. "Grandfather is not in good health. He should stay in bed and rest more. Don't worry about trivial matters. We will handle them properly and won't mess around."

The Emperor paused. Was he reminding him to mind his own business?

Nan Xi didn't have time to care about his thoughts. She took Rong Yu's hand and turned around and walked out.

The princes in the Dazheng Palace looked at each other. They didn't understand why they were called here. It was just to let Princess Feng defend Rong Yu and then tell them that even if he was a member of the Dongling royal family, Rong Yu could beat him and punish him as he pleased?

And their fifth brother, is he afraid of trouble or afraid of causing trouble?

His son was beaten. In front of so many soldiers, the prince was beaten by an outsider, and as a father, he didn't even stand up for his son?
